Eliot Hat
On Sale
CAD5.00
CA$5.00
The Eliot is a slouchy beanie knit in the round using stranded colourwork to create an all-over spooky bat pattern. The original sample uses two tonal colourways as CC that give an overall muted effect to the colourwork, like pumpkin-coloured bats emerging out of the mist, but the pattern also shines using higher-contrast colour combinations.
